So I finally booked my WDW vacation today! I've never been there but I've been to dland tons. Any tips or tricks from mwers who have been? I'm super excited ....50 days and counting :)

The dining plan is wonderful and I wouldn't do it any other way. My advice--use the extra hours to get the best use of your time. Moving between parks is made easy but don't try and do more than two a day or your feet may fall off by the end of your trip. Everest is the best ride--ToT is way better in WDW. If you like mini-golfing the courses on the resort are all really fun! When you do the Wildlife Park--do the safari first thing in the morning--more animals are out and about --not sleeping yet!! Have a great time! - missyandpaul

I'm a veteran of hundreds of trips to WDW. Been going there since 1975. Take my advice and buy the book called "The Unofficial Guide To Walt Disney World". It's like the bible for WDW. It will save you so much time. It is chocked full of so much need-to-know information. - wg4ever

There are a few machines in DCA that are dime presses for the tenth anniversary. They will be gone mid-February. I know they are not pennies, but since the penny arcade is closed, there are a lot of machines down. Sorry I can't give you an exact location. Can't remember where they are. - JediDug

I've seen the path to get to the pet cemetary but it always looks private so I'm afraid to walk in there lolz. Is it open for everyone to go in? - PRINC3SSL3AH

It says it is I've never actually paid attention so next time I'm going I will. - Jackie211 472.7 #402 11:16PM

the gate is usually open, i've gone back there a few times for pictures no issues. i've heard of people getting stopped though. - chris. 2510.5 #45 11:23PM

It's pretty cool. It's even better at night because it looks dark and scarry. My sisters were like CM's are going to kick us out because we are back here. I am like no they are not. So we went back there all sneaky..lol.. - disneysgirl76 225.6 #1562 9:47AM

if you ask a cm to see it, they will tell you to go ahead and go back there. or just go ahead and if any cms ask, tell them you're just looking at the cemetery - missgoofy 371.6 #559 1:28PM

If you ask the CM nicely and they are not busy, they will take you! - Boundin

I'm fairly new but I'm getting the hang of RAK. Beginning Oct. 25, I will be leaving these around the park as my RAK, hair clippies! I better get busy making them! There will many different characters. I'll keep you posted!

Do you sell them anywhere? They are really adorable! - RCmom

Not all fake pins look the same and not all real pins looks the same.. but there are general rules on how to tell a scrapper. - JessicaRabbit33 669.3 #256 8:06PM

You can also tell by the actual pin part, the way there is one little spike next to the big spike. Most of the time a real pin has two little spikes on either side or none at all. - JessicaRabbit33

My wife has a niece who is 16 that has been to DL once when she was 11 but her very disfuntional family started fighting on the first day and basically made her walk around alone or left her in the hotel alone as punishment for not trying to fix the very adult issues they were having. We planned on brining her on our March trip but when her family found out we were going to DL (the 6-9) they assum More...

Oh wow!!!! I will definitely be there to show her she's something amazing!!!! I know it feels to be put down and told your no good.... it took me a while to use it as a positive instead of a negative!!!! I am a certified make-up artist and I would like to offer my services to make her up and make her feel like a princess that she is!!! Please keep me informed!!! - MimiMows

Ohhh my goodness thank you! Last time my family went all she asked for is a crown, my wife calls Jazzy her sweet princess! My wife started crying when she read your msg! I will keep in touch with you. Jazzy will love this. - epyon8250 309.1 #779 11:51PM

 ok crown will be provided as well.... I really want to do more... I work as a peer advocate/ supporter on a non-crisis hotline... We basically are an outlet and resource for those who need someone to talk to. If you'd like I can give you my info and work number so she has it when she needs someone to talk to. I've dealt with so much in my life and I wish I had this resource as a teen and pre teen... I needed the motivation and encouragement at that crucial time in my life.... Please tell her how great she and that many are in her corner for me!!!! I love her already - MimiMows

We will be posting our locations through out the day and the wife and I are going to be wearing our Alice Blue Bonnet and Johnny Fedora hats for the three days we are there (Oct 6-9) exept for at the party we will be characters from the HM pictures. We look forward to meeting everyone and we are so very luck to be a part of an amazing group! - epyon8250

#TIPS on how to ride the Lilly Belle: once you enter the parks in the morning, head straight to Disneyland RailRoad on Main Street. Once you enter the main doors of the station, you'll see a Cast Member directing folks to the platform. Ask him or her if there are still reservations for the Lilly Belle. From there, you can provide the # of people in your party & what time works best for you! Make s More...

Thanks for the tips, would love to do this on our trip in November. - Iyqtoo

A video of LaceySue singing, from MouseWaitDLTV on YouTube. Now I'm crying like a baby and I didn't even know her. Moved by all of you who did and the love you have for her. Beautiful, how fitting this song is. She's singing to each and every one of you. Rest peacefully, sweet Lacey. We will always love you. http://youtu.be/nc3IWre4ZOI

Sorry, I can't embed videos yet, and hopefully it is not inappropriate for me to be sharing this. It was very moving, for me. - poppet

I'm pretty new. I just posted asking if there was a cheat sheet for the abbreviations I frequently see here. I asked the question under my old user name, Velma. When I first signed up here I didn't know I could create a user name - FairyGrandmother 267.0 #1107 12:33AM

So I was looking around on Pinterest, and I stumbled upon one of the best photo blogs. Has anyone else seen this? I wonder if they're on Mouse Wait? I think we can all relate! Simpledisneythings.tumblr

I think DL horses are some of the sweetest, most gentle, yet incredibly strong horses I have ever met. This is Roxy - she even has her own cm badge. Who else loves the DL horses? (Photo - Disney Parks Blog)

Wow, Roxy is so beautiful. I want to be her friend. - MagicalCaprice
